Today is the day many people around the world will establish some self-inflicted rules for the year, New Year's Resolutions. Oh, sure, they are just some simple goals to reach, weight to lose, dreams to live; and I meant to use the description "self-inflicted" instead of "self-imposed" because that's a more apt term. It's not something we have to do, or even need to do, but it is something many of us often do.
Keeping them is something altogether different. In fact, that's the real challenge, to overcome our bad habits in order to create new ones; to develop discipline for our lives and make life better somehow.
I'm doing it too, this year, and for some good reasons.
In this new year I have several goals for myself. Not all of them are resolutions per se, but some personal goals I want to reach. They are not all every day tasks or disciplines except one...
...this blog.
It was January 1, 2006 that I began a year of blogging. I wanted to make it 365 days. I didn't make it, but still posted over 250 times and had hundreds of comments from people around the world and my congregation. This year I am going to do my best to blog every day.
But what to post?
There are times these posts will be devotional, hermeneutical (Bible interpretation), inspirational or simply personal but mostly they will be prayerful. Truly, I'm not writing for any particular audience except God and myself. In a sense it will be a continuation of the sabbatical journey I began in 2009 and I'm inviting anyone to come along on my own inner journey.
Every journey begins with a single step. So here we go.
